- Abstract
The W3 molecular cloud is a region of massive star formation with 3 distinct cluster populations. Deep near-infrared observations of the region southeast of W3 OH may indicate the presence of a low surface density component which could not be coeval with the W3 OH clusters. We discuss the plausibility of a distributed population in W3.
